Answer:

Nepal's government should construct more dams in order to fully utilise the country's water resources.

Explanation:

Nepal has enormous hydropower development potential. The potential is estimated to be greater than 80,000 MW. However, as of 2018, installed hydro capacity was less than 1,000 MW.

The national grid is owned and operated by the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), a government entity. Approximately 60% of the country's 30 million people have access to electricity. The rest of the population still uses primitive lighting methods such as kerosene lamps. However, the supply of electricity is heavily reliant on imports from India, particularly during the winter when river flows are extremely low.

Nepal has a large hydropower potential because of its many perennial rivers that flow from the high Himalayan Mountains in the north, through the mountains to low-lying plains in the south, and on to India. These rivers get their water from snow melt, glaciers, and rainfall. Nepal receives 1,500 mm of rain per year on average. With its high relief and high river flow, the topography lends itself to abundant hydropower development.
